Poised amidst the natural splendour of Kangaroo Valley, 'The Lake House' evokes the romantic essence of a European villa, offering a captivating world of beauty and tranquillity. The current owners have extensively renovated and upgraded the property with quality and timeless style.
Stepping inside, the main wing of the home wraps you in elegance and comfort, from the formal lounge with a fireplace to the expansive bi-fold doors that blur the lines between inside and out. Journey upstairs, and three bedrooms with Juliet balconies open up to escarpment valley vistas, providing a sight to behold from dawn to dusk.
The dining room, serving a dual purpose, effortlessly welcomes space for a home office and is warmed by the gentle crackle of a combustion fireplace. Meanwhile, a sophisticated kitchen showcases a meals area, freestanding electric oven and gas cooktop, direct external access, and a handy servery window, perfect for garden-side entertaining. Both rooms feature beautiful, handcrafted windows.
An innovative breezeway, filled with ambient light and courtyard outlooks, seamlessly marries the charm of the original home to a secondary wing. This wing, a haven in itself, houses a music room or home theatre with a built-in motorised projector screen, plus a luxurious bedroom and bathroom suite.
Outdoors, the magic only continues. Lavender-scented patios, Boston ivy-clad terraces, and grape vine-adorned pergolas create an array of alfresco settings, with tranquil ponds and water features adding to the serenity. Yet, the crowning jewel is undoubtedly the vast lake, its shimmering expanse adorned with three islands, one revered as the 'Wedding Island', where the previous owners were married. This would make a fantastic horse property for those looking for good paddocks with an endless water source.
Nestled within a 15-minute drive of Berry and the scenic attractions of Kangaroo Valley, 'The Lake House' stands as a bridge between modern comforts and sublime countryside living.

A well‑executed rural lakehouse that prioritises indoor–outdoor living and high‑quality, comfortable interiors rather than avant‑garde form. The property stands out for its setting, pergola and mature landscaping, and for thoughtful finishes and built‑in joinery — but it is more a refined country house than an original, architect‑iconic design.
